I liked it too.
It all depends on how much interest we have in the problem. For example, when I worked on my website and I was very enthusiastic about the prospect of people reading what I write, and of earning a passive income, I could work for 8 hours straight on a CSS, without eating or drinking water at all. It would pass by like minutes. But if I had to meditate for 5 minutes, I always managed to make an excuse. Or when it came to school work - man! that was almost unfathomable.
